EPISODE 2: THE DARK MUTINY
"Ow! Remind me never to do that again!" said Keika.
"We'll be doing this almost every day when school starts!" said Sora, enthused.
"Imagine all the adventure!" said Joe.
"Imagine all the fun!" said Mimi.
"What I'm imagining is all the pain!" exclaimed Keika as she rubbed her butt.
"Here's the letter from Gennai! It says;
'Greetings Digidestined!
I hope you all had a wonderful 'flight' over to the Digital World! I have made a new addition to the team, as many of you have noticed. She was one of the only 2 American Digidestined to get Digivice 2.0, or as you call them, D3. You will meet the other one shortly. I have filled Keika in on all the things that have happened with all of you since the Highton View Terrace Battle in her sleep. Osmosis may not work, but subliminal messages do!
I have called you all here to do 2 things. 1) find Keika's Digieggs. She has 2. These eggs must be found to defeat your new enemies. 2) to battle mew menacing Digimon.
There is a Digimon named Indyampamon who has organized a force called the Dark Uprising. It's a force of Indyampamon, a Mega Digimon, and his Bakemon pawns. He has a few henchmen such as the Gaurdromon and Megaseadramon. Watch out for them, because they will be watching out for you. There is one more thing you must know.' and it ends there! It's like he was attacked or something!" The other Digimon running up to their human partners interrupted Izzy. Each Digidestined had his or her own teary reunion with their Digimon. Meanwhile, in the
*****LAIR OF THE DARK MUTINY*****
"Indyampamon!" said a Bakemon "We've spotted something on radar!"
"What is it!?!" demanded his booming voice.
"Sensors show it's.26 nervous 3ft donkeys!" said another.
"Donkeys can be dangerous, sir!" another exclaimed.
"Maybe they aren't donkeys, you twit! Send over a Guardromon to asses the area." He said.
"Right!" laughed a Bakemon. "Send out the Gaurdromon!!!"
*****BACK TO THE DIGIDESTINED*****
"What's the big deal? Can't everyone else bring their Digimon back to the real world?" asked Keika.
"Yeah, but they stay here to protect different areas of the Digital World." explained Yolei.
"Tai! Things have been awful here!" said Agumon.
"How so?" asked Tai.
"The Dark Uprising is everywhere!" said Biyomon.
"That's.awful!" said Sora.
"No joke!" replied Tentomon "At first, they were no more than a joke!"
"But they grew!" said Gomamon.
"Hey, guys! My D3's showing a Digiegg!" said TK.
"Let me see it! I'll scale the map on my computer!" said Izzy, as he took the Digivice from TK, plugged a cord to it and into his computer, and began typing frantically, something he does often!
"WHOA!" said Izzy "According to my map scaler, the Digiegg is about 48,347 miles that way!" said Izzy, as he pointed in back of him.
"48 miles!?!" said Joe.
"No, 48.347!" said Gomamon.
"I say we go after it!" said Keika and Davis simultaneously.
"A female Davis! Could this world be that cruel!?!" said Tai.
"At least I'm the 'cute one'!" said Keika.
"And I'm not?!?!" demanded Davis.
"Tell ya what," she said "we can both be the 'cute one', k?" said Keika, as she kissed Davis on the cheek.
Davis blushed and said "Okay."
"Let's go get that Digiegg!" said Matt.
"Wait!" said Izzy. "If Indyampamon's near as smart as I think he is, he already knows we're here. One of his henchmen may be on his way over to bid us welcome."
"What do you suggest we do, then?" asked Cody.
"I think we should split in half!" said Izzy.
"How do you split 13 in half?" asked Davis.
"Wow!" said Yolei "You counted that high without taking off your shoes and socks! Good job!"
"To answer your question, the larger portion would stay here." Said Izzy.
"All right! I'll take Davis, of course. And Yolei, Mimi, Tai, and.Sora!" said Keika.
"We can use Raidramon, Halsemon, and Birdramon to travel!" said Mimi.
"Digi-armor ENERGIZE!" said Davis and Yolei.
"Veemon Digivolve tooo.Raidramon, Storm of Friendship!"
"Hawkmon Digivolve toooo.Halsemon, the Wings of Love!"
"Biymon Digivolve tooo.Birdramon!"
"Hey, Keika! Over here! You can ride with me!" said Davis, waving his hands like a maniac.
"I'll ride with Yolei!" said Mimi.
"Hey, Tai. I guess that puts us together on Birdramon!" said Sora with a cheezy smile.
"Yeah, guess it does," said Tai, glaring at Davis.
Davis rode on front of Raidramon, Keika behind him. Her arms were around his waist, and her head resting between his shoulder blades.
"This kiss, this kiss!" hummed Keika.
"What'cha humming?" asked Davis.
"Ya sure ya wanna know?" asked Keika.
"Yeah, I'm sure." He answered.
"This Kiss," Keika said.
"Oh." said Davis.
"Was that your first kiss?" asked Keika.
"Yeah, and I'm almost 15! You?" he said.
"Yes, and it was one of the most AMAZING feeling I have ever felt before! It was almost like jumping out of an airplane!" said Keika. "Don't get me wrong, though. I want to take this relationship slow! I'm only barely 15 myself!"
"I see where you're coming from! Slow it is!" he said.
"Then we've agreed. Now all we need is a song!" said Keika.
"Song?" asked Davis.
"Yeah," she said.
"Why?" he asked.
"So you can serenade me!" she replied.
"I don't really do serenades! I've told all my girlfriends that! All.2 of 'em! But, in your case, I think I can make an exception!" he said.
"Aaaaaawwww! You two are soooo sweet you're giving me a toothache!" said Raidramon sarcastically.
"Yeah, can you two keep the 'sweetie pie's and stuff to a minimum?" asked Demijubimon.
"Aaaaaaawwwww! Does the baby-waby talky-walky scawe Demijubimon?" teased Keika.
"Yeah, it kinda does." she answered.
"So, how many boyfriends have you had?" asked Davis.
"2. Same as you. My first was in 7th grade. He was too clingy. The second was in 8th, and lasted a day and a half. He was rumored to be gay, too. He was a real sweetheart, though. Imagine! HE dumped me!" She said. Davis laughed.
"Mine were okay. One was to depressing. She wore black all the time and bleached her hair white! The second was Kari, believe it or not! She actually caved in once and we went out for 2 weeks. I dumped her. It was too weird between me and TK. And she was too eager to please. I like more laid-back chicks who don't care what people think about them!" said Davis.
"Throw in hyper, weird, and smart, and that's me in a nutshell!" said Keika.
"The Digiegg should be right about here.I think." said Yolei.
"The let's stop!" said Davis.
They skidded to a halt and got off their "mounts". Tai had an exasperated look on his face, because Sora was talking his ear off! Mimi and Yolei were giggling, as they always do about Heaven knows what!
"Where do you think it is?" asked Demijubimon.
"Well, it could be anywhere, I suppose. I've never hunted down Digieggs before!" said Keika.
"Well, they're usually buried or something, so let's start digging!" said Yolei.
And they dug. And they dug, and they kept on digging and digging.
"We've been at this for 2 and a half hours now!" said Biyomon.
"Yeah, can't we take a break?" asked Agumon.
"Feel free. The last thing I want you guys to feel like is prisoners. I can't help but feeling that we're doing something wrong, though." said Keika.
Sora got up from her hole and sat down by Tai.
Figures! thought Tai.
"Who are you going to trust, us, the experienced ones? Or your instincts?" asked Sora. "Yeah, you do have a point." said Keika.
"Hey, aren't the rest of you going to break?" asked Sora.
"No! We aren't going to abandon this Digiegg!" said Demijubimon.
"Ya know," said Davis to Demijubimon and Demiveemon, "you guys aren't that much help in your In-training forms!"
"Yeah, but if we find the Digiegg, I want to be at full strength!" said Demijubimon. "Makes sense." he said. "And you?" he asked Demiveemon.
"Uh-I'm here for moral support!" he said.
"Got to hand it to him, he's about as good a liar as you are, Davis!" laughed Mimi. "Thanks!" said Demiveemon. "Wait a sec-HEY!" he said, realizing what Mimi meant. "Hawkmon, can you came here for a minute?" asked Keika. "
Sure!" said Hawkmon.
"Remember what I said about feeling that we're doing something wrong?" she said. "Yes, quite clearly." he answered.
"Well, I don't think we should be looking by land, but by..."
"AIR! I catch your drift!" he said.
"That's where you come in. Fly around this area and tell me if you see any Digieggs, okay?" she said.
"Affirmative! I'll sneak off when no one's looking!" he said quietly.
"Thanks for helping me!" she said.
"That's what Digimon are for!" he said with a smile "And keeping the forces of good and evil in the delicate balance that they should be kept in!"
While everyone was busy attending to their holes, looking for the Digiegg, Hawkmon took to the wing and searched for the Digiegg from an aerial view.
*****BACK TO THE OTHER DIGIDESTINED*****
"I've managed to tap into their network, as usual, and find out such things as their weak points to attack from, and all of their members." said Izzy.
"Way to go, Izzy!" said Kari.
"His henchmen include: Megaseadramon, Guardromon, Airdramon, Shellmon, and..." paused Izzy.
"And who?" asked TK, eager to know.
"And Devimon!"said Izzy.
TK clenched his fists tight at the thought of the evil Digimon who forced Angemon to sacrifice himself.
"But, I thought we destroyed him!" said Joe.
"Well, yes and no..."said Izzy.
"What do you mean YES AND NO!" demanded TK.
"Well," said Izzy, startled at TK's outburst, "technically, we did destroy him. Indyampamon just figured out a way to re-create evil Digimon. What he does is he robs Primary City of a Digiegg. Then, before the Digimon inside is near ready to come out, he cracks the egg, and strategically removes the beginnings of that Digimon. He then put inside the few bits of data left over from Devimon, and watched them grow. It's taken him from when we destroyed him to up until now to fully recreate Devimon. He's still not 100% finished."
"We have to get in there and destroy Devimon once and for all!" said TK.
"But, we need a better and more surefire way to destroy him. Otherwise, Indyampamon will just get another Digiegg and recreate him all over again! Every time he is born, he gets stronger and smarter. My bet is that Indyampamon is holding him in reserves and will spring him on us when we least expect it!" said Izzy.
"Maybe Keika is the key to destroying Devimon!" said Kari. "
Maybe not," said Izzy "Maybe its the other Digidestined that Gennai was talking about." "Maybe its the combination of all of us." said Ken. Everyone looked at Ken, surprised by his sudden outspokenness.
"You guys know what's weird?" asked Matt.
"What?" asked Kari.
"Well, it seems strange to me that Keika would choose to separate us the way that she did, knowing what she does." said Matt.
"I don't get what you mean!" said TK.
"I've been thinking that too, Matt. She leaves her cousins here, and trades them for her boyfriend and 'admirer.' She then takes all the girls but Kari, including Sora, who I'm pretty sure has a rabid crush on Tai, leaving Kari here with TK. No one's DNA Digivolving partners are together, except for TK and Cody, who are not with her." said Ken.
"Hmmm...what do you think she was thinking about then?" asked Cody.
"Maybe she's Digidestined, but not on our side..." said Izzy.
"NEVER! I haven't been around my cousin for that long, but I do know she'd never join up with the likes of Devimon!" spat TK.
"Well, you never can be sure..." said Joe.
"Come on guys! Have a little faith in the human race! Have a little faith in a fellow Digidestined!" said TK.
"Ken is Digidestined, and look at all the horrible things he was capable of." said Matt. "I've gotten an email from Gennai!" said Izzy.
"What does it say!?!" asked Cody.
"It says: 'Greetings Digidestined!
Sorry about the unfinished letter! I got disconnected. The thing that you need to know is...drum roll please...Indyampamon has done something evil to you! He has placed among you what he calls the seeds of suspicion. The effects of them are devastating! Only 2 of you remain untouched by their evil powers because of your crests. TK has the crest of Hope, and Keika's crest, whatever it may be, is keeping her from being infected as well. Many suspicions will rise among you, but beware! Learn to separate basic instinct from the effects of the seeds!
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
Gennai!'
And there it ends. But are our deductions from Keika's behavior an effect of the seeds, or an instinct that's telling us to not trust her?" wondered Izzy.
"I remained unaffected, so it must be from the seeds of suspicion!" said TK.
"Maybe...or maybe you're with THEM!" said Matt.
"Why would I join with Devimon!?! You guys know I hate him!" said TK, desperate. "You guys, he has a point!" said Ken.
"Why aren't you ready to tear me limb-from-limb like them?" asked TK.
"Surely you haven't forgotten about the Dark Spore! The powers of darkness from both of them cancel each other out. Guess that's one thing Gennai forgot!" said Ken.
"All you have to do is believe, guys! Listen to us, and the suspicions will go away! All you have to do is believe us!" said TK.
"Don't you think that ex-pure evil can recognize henchmen? I had thousands! I would know!" said Ken.
"He has a point..."said Joe, then a small, shriveled up seed fell out of his ear. "Yeah..."said Gomamon, and the same happened to him. Then, seeds fell out of everyone's ear, even Tentomon, who has no ears!
"What happened?" asked Kari, dazed and confused.
"Read Gennai's email. I think that you can figure out the rest!" said TK.
*****BACK TO KEIKA'S GROUP*****
"Sora, don't you think you ought to get back to work?" asked Tai.
"Why?" she asked. "It's not my Digiegg." she said.
"You read Gennai's email, just like everyone else! We have to find this Digiegg to defeat Indyampamon! I suggest you start digging!" said Mimi.
"I suggest you shut your mouth! I'm not going to help that boyfriend- stealing pinhead find ANYTHING!" said Sora.
"She has NOT stolen your 'boyfriend' Sora! She's just trying to help us!" said Yolei. "Oh, yeah! Well, what if Ken's next, then Matt, and Joe, and Izzy? Then what!?!" demanded Sora. Mimi and Yolei, turned by the seeds of suspicion and Sora's words, looked at Keika and immediately decided what she said was true.
"How could you!?!" exclaimed Yolei.
"After all we've done for you! How could you!?!" demanded Mimi.
"How could I what?" asked Keika.
"Ookay, they are obviously disturbed!" said Davis, then a seed fell out of his ear.
"What in the world was that?" he asked.
"I don't know, but I agree with you!" said Tai, and a seed fell out of his ear, too. The same happened to Agumon and Demiveemon, as they too were untouched by the seeds of suspicion.
"I got an email from Izzy!" said Davis.
"It says:
'Davis,
Indyampamon implanted us with seeds of suspicion. They make you suspect people of awful things. All you have to do is rule out the possibility of those things, and the seeds fall out of your ear! TK and Keika were supposed to be the only ones untouched, but neither was Ken. He thinks it's because of the Black Spore. We suspected Keika being evil, and TK being on her side! What about you guys?'"
"So, we have to make them rule out the possibility of Keika being a boyfriend-stealer, and the seeds go away, right?" asked Tai.
"Right!" said Davis.
"Girls, didn't you see Davis and I in the park? Why would I try to steal any more guys when I have him?" asked Keika.
"Yeah! I'm all the boyfriend she needs!" said Davis, and the two kissed, a sweet little peck.
"They do have a point..."said Yolei.
"Yeah, I guess she's right!" said Mimi.
"Sora," said Tai, in a very soft and comforting tone.
"WHAT!?!" she yelled.
"I'm not your boyfriend! Why do you keep thinking that!?! Besides, Keika isn't trying to 'steal' me! I think I'd know!" said Tai, angry at Sora's outrageous jealousy. The seed fell out of Sora's ear, but she didn't say anything.
"I'm gonna write back Izzy!" said Davis.
Izzy,
We got rid of the seeds pretty quick. Me and Tai were pretty much untouched by them, but the girls were a different story! Sora thought that Keika was trying to steal Tai! Mimi and Yolei thought she was collecting boyfriends or something, and she was after all the guys! Isn't that funny! Gotta go! thought Davis as he wrote it down on his D-Terminal. "What's that little gizmo ya got there?" asked Keika.
"It's called a D-Terminal. You can store Digieggs on it, and email others on it, too." said Davis.
"Any idea when I get mine?" asked Keika.
"You should have when you got your Digimon, but you should have gotten you Digimon when you lifted your Digiegg!" said Sora, obviously angry. Keika walked up to Sora and said
"Listen. I don't want any catfights to break out, but if that's what it takes to get us to function as a team, so be it! Let's just be friends and get on with life."
"Not while you keep flirting with Tai!" said Sora.
"I'm not flirting! If you think what I'm doing is flirting, then you're Amish or something! I thought that you ruled out that possibility and got rid of the seed?" asked Keika.
"I ruled out that you're trying to steal my boyfriend. Tai isn't my boyfriend yet!" said Sora.
"Like it or not, I'm going to be your friend! Like it or not, we'll probably have to save each other's lives a number of times! Like it or not, I've got your back! It's up to you whether you're going to get mine or not!" said Keika. Then she turned away and walked towards Davis.
"What'd you tell her?" asked Davis.
"How it's going to be." said Keika.
"Hey, does anyone know where Hawkmon is?" asked Yolei.
"Oh, crap!" said Keika. Just then, they all heard a rumbling noise.
"What was that?" asked Mimi.
"Uh-oh!" said Demiveemon.
"It'sa-i-i-it'sa!"said Biyomon.
"It'sa what?" asked Sora.
"It's a Guardromon!" said Demijubimon.
"Oh no!" said Agumon.
"Me and TK once beat hundreds of these guys! This should be a breeze!" said Davis. "Not this one!" said Tai, looking at the Guardromon.
"Why?" asked Davis.
"Look at it Davis! It's been modified!" said Tai.
"That's right!" said the Guardromon. "I'm now MegaGuardromon! I'm now bigger and better! I'll delete my enemies with my Guardro-Missiles!"
"Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!" said Keika.
"We don't run! We stand and fight! Ken, are you ready?" asked Davis. "Ken? KEN? He isn't here!"
"We'll have to do it without him, Davis!" said Veemon, now Digivolved.
"Right!"
"Veemon Digivolve toooo...ExVeemon!"
"Palmon Digivolve tooo...Togemon!"
"Biyomon Digivolve tooo...Birdramon!"
"Agumon Digivolve to...Greymon!"
"Demijubimon Digivolve tooo...Jubimon!"
"Hawkmon! Hawkmon? Where are you!?! We need you!!!" cried Yolei.
"Yolei,"said Keika.
"Not now! I'm trying to find Hawkmon!" said Yolei.
"It's about Hawkmon! I kinda sorta sent him out to look for my Digiegg. I thought he might better be able to see it from the air. I thought we were going about looking for it the wrong way." said Keika.
"How could you!?! You risked the life of my Digimon so you could find your Digiegg!?! How could you!?!" cried Yolei.
"I'm sorry! I thought that I was doing the right thing!" said Keika. "
"Well, you weren't!" yelled Yolei, as she ran off to Mimi where she cried on her shoulder.
"VeeLASER!"
"Nova Blast!"
"Needle spray!"
"Jubi-LATION!" shouted Jubimon.
"Hahahahah!" laughed MegaGuardromon.
"You think your pitiful attacks have any effect on me? Try this on for size! MegaGuardro-Missile!"
The MegaGuardromon's attack almost hit the Digimon.
"You know what time it is, Mimi?" asked Togemon.
"Time to kick butt!" said Mimi.
"Togemon Digivolve tooooo...Lilymon!"
"Flower cannon!"
"Same goes for you, Greymon!" said Tai.
"Mhmm!" he answered.
"Greymon Digivolve tooo...MetalGreymon!"
"Giga Blaster!"
MegaGuardromon, obviously effected by the attacks, tried not to show it. "Is...that...all...you've...got?" he asked, obviously in pain.
"Actually, no!" answered Hawkmon.
"Hawkmon! You're back!" said Yolei.
"I found your Digiegg, Keika!" he said.
"Where is it?" she asked.
"Lead him away to the North. You'll find it soon enough!" he answered.
"Hawkmon, let's do this!" said Yolei.
"Hawkmon Digivolve tooo...Aquilamon!"
"Don't attack! Just draw him to the Digiegg!" said Tai. They started running for what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes. The egg was purple, with white wings wrapped around it. It had a sky blue base like Shurimon's egg, but with spikes sticking out of all 5 points. It had a curved spike coming out of the top, and was emblazoned with what looked like a radiant goldfish!
"What crest is that? I've never seen that one before!" said Davis.
I can do this! God, please give me the strength to do this! thought Keika.
"It's the crest of Faith! It's gotta be!" said Jubimon.
"You can run! But you can't hide forever!" said MegaGuardromon.
"We can make it! I can do this!" said Keika.
"Try and lift the egg!" said Mimi.
"Come on, get your head on straight! You can do this. God help me!" said Keika, feeling overwhelmed.
"Keika, to open it, you have to have faith! Use your faith, not your strength to lift the Digiegg! I believe in you!" said Davis. With Davis' word of encouragement, Keika didn't even have to lift the egg. It came floating towards her, out of a nest of vulture eggs! "Take it!" said Jubimon "It's you Digiegg of Faith, Keika!"
"Let's whoop some Guardro-butt!" said Keika, grinning.
"Digi-armor ENERGIZE!"
"Jubimon Armor-Digivolve to.....Arterumon, Leap of Faith!" "I am Arterumon! Using the Digiegg of Faith, I Digivolve from Jubimon. Watch out for my Silent Thunder attack! You'll never even hear me coming!"
She looked a lot like Raidramon. She was obviously related to Garurumon, being wolf-like in shape. Her coloring was the same as Jubimon's and DemiJubimon's, only her armor was white, with sky blue outlining. On her side was the crest of Faith, and she had ixthus fish facing turned facing inside, carved in purple. On the thighs were all type of curly and swirly designs. Her eyes were the same sky blue, only fierce now! Her wings were white, but sort of glistened in the light with almost an iridescence.
"Silent THUNDER!" shouted Arterumon, and a large ball of purplish-white electricity that was also faintly pink began to accumulate at the end of her curved horn. It sped forward without making a noise and hit the MegaGuardromon in the stomach. He doubled over in pain.
"Alright! Way to go, Keika!" said Tai.
"Arterumon! Fly this way!" said Keika. "Let's finish him together!"
"Right!" said Arterumon's sweet but defiant voice.
Keika hopped on her and they flew off towards MegaGuardromon.
"Everyone, fall in behind me! Attack with all your power on three, okay? One.two..two and three quarters..three!" said Keika, and everyone let MegaGuardromon have it!
"Vee LASER!"
"Flower CANNON!"
"Meteor WING!"
"Giga BLASTER!"
"Horn BUSTER!"
"SILENT THUNDER!!" At those words, all of Arterumon's body went atingle with purple lightning. It slowly moved up her body and towards the curvy horn on her head where it accumulated into one huge ball, not quite Terra Force size, but about halfway there. It spun very fast on her horn and slowly made its way toward MegaGaurdromon. He began to flee, but the ball picked up the pace and hit him square in the chest. All this happened without anyone making a sound.
"Uuuuuuugh! You..Haven.t.seen.the.last.of.meeeeeeeeeeeeee!" screamed MegaGuardromon as he fell over and vaporized.
"Woohoo!" said Keika.
"We did it!" said Davis.
"Alright!" said Mimi.
"Right on!" said Tai.
"Oh, yeah!" said Yolei.
"Hey, Keika," said Sora.
"What?" asked Keika.
"I've got your back!" she said, grinning. Keika smiled back, glad to have that tension out of the way.
"Let's head back to the others! We got the Digiegg, and that's what we came here to do!" said Tai.
"Mhmmm!" said Agumon.
*****LATER, WHEN THE OTHERS GET BACK*****
"Well, one down, and.several more to go!" said Izzy.
"I thought it was only, like, 5 more!" said Kari.
"I found out more! Those are only his most powerful allies! More include Meramon and he can even recreate a SkullGreymon!" said Izzy.
"SKULLgreymon?" asked Tai.
"SkullGreymon." said Izzy.
"But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!" said Keika.
"Right!" said DemiJubimon.
"Let's go back to the real world. I'm hungry!" said Yolei.
"Digi-port OPEN!" said TK.
And everyone fell back through the screen at school.
"Goodnight, Keika!" said Davis.
"'Night, Davis!" said Keika, blowing a kiss his way.
"Don't tease me like that!" he said, and he ran up to her and kissed her forcefully on the lips. They got finished, I guess you'd say, and she said
"Have.a nice day!" said Keika.
"Have a nice day?" said Davis.
"Yeah. Have a nice day." She said.
"Have a nice day?" asked TK.
"Yeah," she said. "I panicked!"
"Ow! Remind me never to do that again!" said Keika.
"We'll be doing this almost every day when school starts!" said Sora, enthused.
"Imagine all the adventure!" said Joe.
"Imagine all the fun!" said Mimi.
"What I'm imagining is all the pain!" exclaimed Keika as she rubbed her butt.
"Here's the letter from Gennai! It says;
'Greetings Digidestined!
I hope you all had a wonderful 'flight' over to the Digital World! I have made a new addition to the team, as many of you have noticed. She was one of the only 2 American Digidestined to get Digivice 2.0, or as you call them, D3. You will meet the other one shortly. I have filled Keika in on all the things that have happened with all of you since the Highton View Terrace Battle in her sleep. Osmosis may not work, but subliminal messages do!
I have called you all here to do 2 things. 1) find Keika's Digieggs. She has 2. These eggs must be found to defeat your new enemies. 2) to battle mew menacing Digimon.
There is a Digimon named Indyampamon who has organized a force called the Dark Uprising. It's a force of Indyampamon, a Mega Digimon, and his Bakemon pawns. He has a few henchmen such as the Gaurdromon and Megaseadramon. Watch out for them, because they will be watching out for you. There is one more thing you must know.' and it ends there! It's like he was attacked or something!" The other Digimon running up to their human partners interrupted Izzy. Each Digidestined had his or her own teary reunion with their Digimon. Meanwhile, in the
*****LAIR OF THE DARK MUTINY*****
"Indyampamon!" said a Bakemon "We've spotted something on radar!"
"What is it!?!" demanded his booming voice.
"Sensors show it's.26 nervous 3ft donkeys!" said another.
"Donkeys can be dangerous, sir!" another exclaimed.
"Maybe they aren't donkeys, you twit! Send over a Guardromon to asses the area." He said.
"Right!" laughed a Bakemon. "Send out the Gaurdromon!!!"
*****BACK TO THE DIGIDESTINED*****
"What's the big deal? Can't everyone else bring their Digimon back to the real world?" asked Keika.
"Yeah, but they stay here to protect different areas of the Digital World." explained Yolei.
"Tai! Things have been awful here!" said Agumon.
"How so?" asked Tai.
"The Dark Uprising is everywhere!" said Biyomon.
"That's.awful!" said Sora.
"No joke!" replied Tentomon "At first, they were no more than a joke!"
"But they grew!" said Gomamon.
"Hey, guys! My D3's showing a Digiegg!" said TK.
"Let me see it! I'll scale the map on my computer!" said Izzy, as he took the Digivice from TK, plugged a cord to it and into his computer, and began typing frantically, something he does often!
"WHOA!" said Izzy "According to my map scaler, the Digiegg is about 48,347 miles that way!" said Izzy, as he pointed in back of him.
"48 miles!?!" said Joe.
"No, 48.347!" said Gomamon.
"I say we go after it!" said Keika and Davis simultaneously.
"A female Davis! Could this world be that cruel!?!" said Tai.
"At least I'm the 'cute one'!" said Keika.
"And I'm not?!?!" demanded Davis.
"Tell ya what," she said "we can both be the 'cute one', k?" said Keika, as she kissed Davis on the cheek.
Davis blushed and said "Okay."
"Let's go get that Digiegg!" said Matt.
"Wait!" said Izzy. "If Indyampamon's near as smart as I think he is, he already knows we're here. One of his henchmen may be on his way over to bid us welcome."
"What do you suggest we do, then?" asked Cody.
"I think we should split in half!" said Izzy.
"How do you split 13 in half?" asked Davis.
"Wow!" said Yolei "You counted that high without taking off your shoes and socks! Good job!"
"To answer your question, the larger portion would stay here." Said Izzy.
"All right! I'll take Davis, of course. And Yolei, Mimi, Tai, and.Sora!" said Keika.
"We can use Raidramon, Halsemon, and Birdramon to travel!" said Mimi.
"Digi-armor ENERGIZE!" said Davis and Yolei.
"Veemon Digivolve tooo.Raidramon, Storm of Friendship!"
"Hawkmon Digivolve toooo.Halsemon, the Wings of Love!"
"Biymon Digivolve tooo.Birdramon!"
"Hey, Keika! Over here! You can ride with me!" said Davis, waving his hands like a maniac.
"I'll ride with Yolei!" said Mimi.
"Hey, Tai. I guess that puts us together on Birdramon!" said Sora with a cheezy smile.
"Yeah, guess it does," said Tai, glaring at Davis.
Davis rode on front of Raidramon, Keika behind him. Her arms were around his waist, and her head resting between his shoulder blades.
"This kiss, this kiss!" hummed Keika.
"What'cha humming?" asked Davis.
"Ya sure ya wanna know?" asked Keika.
"Yeah, I'm sure." He answered.
"This Kiss," Keika said.
"Oh." said Davis.
"Was that your first kiss?" asked Keika.
"Yeah, and I'm almost 15! You?" he said.
"Yes, and it was one of the most AMAZING feeling I have ever felt before! It was almost like jumping out of an airplane!" said Keika. "Don't get me wrong, though. I want to take this relationship slow! I'm only barely 15 myself!"
"I see where you're coming from! Slow it is!" he said.
"Then we've agreed. Now all we need is a song!" said Keika.
"Song?" asked Davis.
"Yeah," she said.
"Why?" he asked.
"So you can serenade me!" she replied.
"I don't really do serenades! I've told all my girlfriends that! All.2 of 'em! But, in your case, I think I can make an exception!" he said.
"Aaaaaawwww! You two are soooo sweet you're giving me a toothache!" said Raidramon sarcastically.
"Yeah, can you two keep the 'sweetie pie's and stuff to a minimum?" asked Demijubimon.
"Aaaaaaawwwww! Does the baby-waby talky-walky scawe Demijubimon?" teased Keika.
"Yeah, it kinda does." she answered.
"So, how many boyfriends have you had?" asked Davis.
"2. Same as you. My first was in 7th grade. He was too clingy. The second was in 8th, and lasted a day and a half. He was rumored to be gay, too. He was a real sweetheart, though. Imagine! HE dumped me!" She said. Davis laughed.
"Mine were okay. One was to depressing. She wore black all the time and bleached her hair white! The second was Kari, believe it or not! She actually caved in once and we went out for 2 weeks. I dumped her. It was too weird between me and TK. And she was too eager to please. I like more laid-back chicks who don't care what people think about them!" said Davis.
"Throw in hyper, weird, and smart, and that's me in a nutshell!" said Keika.
"The Digiegg should be right about here.I think." said Yolei.
"The let's stop!" said Davis.
They skidded to a halt and got off their "mounts". Tai had an exasperated look on his face, because Sora was talking his ear off! Mimi and Yolei were giggling, as they always do about Heaven knows what!
"Where do you think it is?" asked Demijubimon.
"Well, it could be anywhere, I suppose. I've never hunted down Digieggs before!" said Keika.
"Well, they're usually buried or something, so let's start digging!" said Yolei.
And they dug. And they dug, and they kept on digging and digging.
"We've been at this for 2 and a half hours now!" said Biyomon.
"Yeah, can't we take a break?" asked Agumon.
"Feel free. The last thing I want you guys to feel like is prisoners. I can't help but feeling that we're doing something wrong, though." said Keika.
Sora got up from her hole and sat down by Tai.
Figures! thought Tai.
"Who are you going to trust, us, the experienced ones? Or your instincts?" asked Sora. "Yeah, you do have a point." said Keika.
"Hey, aren't the rest of you going to break?" asked Sora.
"No! We aren't going to abandon this Digiegg!" said Demijubimon.
"Ya know," said Davis to Demijubimon and Demiveemon, "you guys aren't that much help in your In-training forms!"
"Yeah, but if we find the Digiegg, I want to be at full strength!" said Demijubimon. "Makes sense." he said. "And you?" he asked Demiveemon.
"Uh-I'm here for moral support!" he said.
"Got to hand it to him, he's about as good a liar as you are, Davis!" laughed Mimi. "Thanks!" said Demiveemon. "Wait a sec-HEY!" he said, realizing what Mimi meant. "Hawkmon, can you came here for a minute?" asked Keika. "
Sure!" said Hawkmon.
"Remember what I said about feeling that we're doing something wrong?" she said. "Yes, quite clearly." he answered.
"Well, I don't think we should be looking by land, but by..."
"AIR! I catch your drift!" he said.
"That's where you come in. Fly around this area and tell me if you see any Digieggs, okay?" she said.
"Affirmative! I'll sneak off when no one's looking!" he said quietly.
"Thanks for helping me!" she said.
"That's what Digimon are for!" he said with a smile "And keeping the forces of good and evil in the delicate balance that they should be kept in!"
While everyone was busy attending to their holes, looking for the Digiegg, Hawkmon took to the wing and searched for the Digiegg from an aerial view.
*****BACK TO THE OTHER DIGIDESTINED*****
"I've managed to tap into their network, as usual, and find out such things as their weak points to attack from, and all of their members." said Izzy.
"Way to go, Izzy!" said Kari.
"His henchmen include: Megaseadramon, Guardromon, Airdramon, Shellmon, and..." paused Izzy.
"And who?" asked TK, eager to know.
"And Devimon!"said Izzy.
TK clenched his fists tight at the thought of the evil Digimon who forced Angemon to sacrifice himself.
"But, I thought we destroyed him!" said Joe.
"Well, yes and no..."said Izzy.
"What do you mean YES AND NO!" demanded TK.
"Well," said Izzy, startled at TK's outburst, "technically, we did destroy him. Indyampamon just figured out a way to re-create evil Digimon. What he does is he robs Primary City of a Digiegg. Then, before the Digimon inside is near ready to come out, he cracks the egg, and strategically removes the beginnings of that Digimon. He then put inside the few bits of data left over from Devimon, and watched them grow. It's taken him from when we destroyed him to up until now to fully recreate Devimon. He's still not 100% finished."
"We have to get in there and destroy Devimon once and for all!" said TK.
"But, we need a better and more surefire way to destroy him. Otherwise, Indyampamon will just get another Digiegg and recreate him all over again! Every time he is born, he gets stronger and smarter. My bet is that Indyampamon is holding him in reserves and will spring him on us when we least expect it!" said Izzy.
"Maybe Keika is the key to destroying Devimon!" said Kari. "
Maybe not," said Izzy "Maybe its the other Digidestined that Gennai was talking about." "Maybe its the combination of all of us." said Ken. Everyone looked at Ken, surprised by his sudden outspokenness.
"You guys know what's weird?" asked Matt.
"What?" asked Kari.
"Well, it seems strange to me that Keika would choose to separate us the way that she did, knowing what she does." said Matt.
"I don't get what you mean!" said TK.
"I've been thinking that too, Matt. She leaves her cousins here, and trades them for her boyfriend and 'admirer.' She then takes all the girls but Kari, including Sora, who I'm pretty sure has a rabid crush on Tai, leaving Kari here with TK. No one's DNA Digivolving partners are together, except for TK and Cody, who are not with her." said Ken.
"Hmmm...what do you think she was thinking about then?" asked Cody.
"Maybe she's Digidestined, but not on our side..." said Izzy.
"NEVER! I haven't been around my cousin for that long, but I do know she'd never join up with the likes of Devimon!" spat TK.
"Well, you never can be sure..." said Joe.
"Come on guys! Have a little faith in the human race! Have a little faith in a fellow Digidestined!" said TK.
"Ken is Digidestined, and look at all the horrible things he was capable of." said Matt. "I've gotten an email from Gennai!" said Izzy.
"What does it say!?!" asked Cody.
"It says: 'Greetings Digidestined!
Sorry about the unfinished letter! I got disconnected. The thing that you need to know is...drum roll please...Indyampamon has done something evil to you! He has placed among you what he calls the seeds of suspicion. The effects of them are devastating! Only 2 of you remain untouched by their evil powers because of your crests. TK has the crest of Hope, and Keika's crest, whatever it may be, is keeping her from being infected as well. Many suspicions will rise among you, but beware! Learn to separate basic instinct from the effects of the seeds!
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
Gennai!'
And there it ends. But are our deductions from Keika's behavior an effect of the seeds, or an instinct that's telling us to not trust her?" wondered Izzy.
"I remained unaffected, so it must be from the seeds of suspicion!" said TK.
"Maybe...or maybe you're with THEM!" said Matt.
"Why would I join with Devimon!?! You guys know I hate him!" said TK, desperate. "You guys, he has a point!" said Ken.
"Why aren't you ready to tear me limb-from-limb like them?" asked TK.
"Surely you haven't forgotten about the Dark Spore! The powers of darkness from both of them cancel each other out. Guess that's one thing Gennai forgot!" said Ken.
"All you have to do is believe, guys! Listen to us, and the suspicions will go away! All you have to do is believe us!" said TK.
"Don't you think that ex-pure evil can recognize henchmen? I had thousands! I would know!" said Ken.
"He has a point..."said Joe, then a small, shriveled up seed fell out of his ear. "Yeah..."said Gomamon, and the same happened to him. Then, seeds fell out of everyone's ear, even Tentomon, who has no ears!
"What happened?" asked Kari, dazed and confused.
"Read Gennai's email. I think that you can figure out the rest!" said TK.
*****BACK TO KEIKA'S GROUP*****
"Sora, don't you think you ought to get back to work?" asked Tai.
"Why?" she asked. "It's not my Digiegg." she said.
"You read Gennai's email, just like everyone else! We have to find this Digiegg to defeat Indyampamon! I suggest you start digging!" said Mimi.
"I suggest you shut your mouth! I'm not going to help that boyfriend- stealing pinhead find ANYTHING!" said Sora.
"She has NOT stolen your 'boyfriend' Sora! She's just trying to help us!" said Yolei. "Oh, yeah! Well, what if Ken's next, then Matt, and Joe, and Izzy? Then what!?!" demanded Sora. Mimi and Yolei, turned by the seeds of suspicion and Sora's words, looked at Keika and immediately decided what she said was true.
"How could you!?!" exclaimed Yolei.
"After all we've done for you! How could you!?!" demanded Mimi.
"How could I what?" asked Keika.
"Ookay, they are obviously disturbed!" said Davis, then a seed fell out of his ear.
"What in the world was that?" he asked.
"I don't know, but I agree with you!" said Tai, and a seed fell out of his ear, too. The same happened to Agumon and Demiveemon, as they too were untouched by the seeds of suspicion.
"I got an email from Izzy!" said Davis.
"It says:
'Davis,
Indyampamon implanted us with seeds of suspicion. They make you suspect people of awful things. All you have to do is rule out the possibility of those things, and the seeds fall out of your ear! TK and Keika were supposed to be the only ones untouched, but neither was Ken. He thinks it's because of the Black Spore. We suspected Keika being evil, and TK being on her side! What about you guys?'"
"So, we have to make them rule out the possibility of Keika being a boyfriend-stealer, and the seeds go away, right?" asked Tai.
"Right!" said Davis.
"Girls, didn't you see Davis and I in the park? Why would I try to steal any more guys when I have him?" asked Keika.
"Yeah! I'm all the boyfriend she needs!" said Davis, and the two kissed, a sweet little peck.
"They do have a point..."said Yolei.
"Yeah, I guess she's right!" said Mimi.
"Sora," said Tai, in a very soft and comforting tone.
"WHAT!?!" she yelled.
"I'm not your boyfriend! Why do you keep thinking that!?! Besides, Keika isn't trying to 'steal' me! I think I'd know!" said Tai, angry at Sora's outrageous jealousy. The seed fell out of Sora's ear, but she didn't say anything.
"I'm gonna write back Izzy!" said Davis.
Izzy,
We got rid of the seeds pretty quick. Me and Tai were pretty much untouched by them, but the girls were a different story! Sora thought that Keika was trying to steal Tai! Mimi and Yolei thought she was collecting boyfriends or something, and she was after all the guys! Isn't that funny! Gotta go! thought Davis as he wrote it down on his D-Terminal. "What's that little gizmo ya got there?" asked Keika.
"It's called a D-Terminal. You can store Digieggs on it, and email others on it, too." said Davis.
"Any idea when I get mine?" asked Keika.
"You should have when you got your Digimon, but you should have gotten you Digimon when you lifted your Digiegg!" said Sora, obviously angry. Keika walked up to Sora and said
"Listen. I don't want any catfights to break out, but if that's what it takes to get us to function as a team, so be it! Let's just be friends and get on with life."
"Not while you keep flirting with Tai!" said Sora.
"I'm not flirting! If you think what I'm doing is flirting, then you're Amish or something! I thought that you ruled out that possibility and got rid of the seed?" asked Keika.
"I ruled out that you're trying to steal my boyfriend. Tai isn't my boyfriend yet!" said Sora.
"Like it or not, I'm going to be your friend! Like it or not, we'll probably have to save each other's lives a number of times! Like it or not, I've got your back! It's up to you whether you're going to get mine or not!" said Keika. Then she turned away and walked towards Davis.
"What'd you tell her?" asked Davis.
"How it's going to be." said Keika.
"Hey, does anyone know where Hawkmon is?" asked Yolei.
"Oh, crap!" said Keika. Just then, they all heard a rumbling noise.
"What was that?" asked Mimi.
"Uh-oh!" said Demiveemon.
"It'sa-i-i-it'sa!"said Biyomon.
"It'sa what?" asked Sora.
"It's a Guardromon!" said Demijubimon.
"Oh no!" said Agumon.
"Me and TK once beat hundreds of these guys! This should be a breeze!" said Davis. "Not this one!" said Tai, looking at the Guardromon.
"Why?" asked Davis.
"Look at it Davis! It's been modified!" said Tai.
"That's right!" said the Guardromon. "I'm now MegaGuardromon! I'm now bigger and better! I'll delete my enemies with my Guardro-Missiles!"
"Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!" said Keika.
"We don't run! We stand and fight! Ken, are you ready?" asked Davis. "Ken? KEN? He isn't here!"
"We'll have to do it without him, Davis!" said Veemon, now Digivolved.
"Right!"
"Veemon Digivolve toooo...ExVeemon!"
"Palmon Digivolve tooo...Togemon!"
"Biyomon Digivolve tooo...Birdramon!"
"Agumon Digivolve to...Greymon!"
"Demijubimon Digivolve tooo...Jubimon!"
"Hawkmon! Hawkmon? Where are you!?! We need you!!!" cried Yolei.
"Yolei,"said Keika.
"Not now! I'm trying to find Hawkmon!" said Yolei.
"It's about Hawkmon! I kinda sorta sent him out to look for my Digiegg. I thought he might better be able to see it from the air. I thought we were going about looking for it the wrong way." said Keika.
"How could you!?! You risked the life of my Digimon so you could find your Digiegg!?! How could you!?!" cried Yolei.
"I'm sorry! I thought that I was doing the right thing!" said Keika. "
"Well, you weren't!" yelled Yolei, as she ran off to Mimi where she cried on her shoulder.
"VeeLASER!"
"Nova Blast!"
"Needle spray!"
"Jubi-LATION!" shouted Jubimon.
"Hahahahah!" laughed MegaGuardromon.
"You think your pitiful attacks have any effect on me? Try this on for size! MegaGuardro-Missile!"
The MegaGuardromon's attack almost hit the Digimon.
"You know what time it is, Mimi?" asked Togemon.
"Time to kick butt!" said Mimi.
"Togemon Digivolve tooooo...Lilymon!"
"Flower cannon!"
"Same goes for you, Greymon!" said Tai.
"Mhmm!" he answered.
"Greymon Digivolve tooo...MetalGreymon!"
"Giga Blaster!"
MegaGuardromon, obviously effected by the attacks, tried not to show it. "Is...that...all...you've...got?" he asked, obviously in pain.
"Actually, no!" answered Hawkmon.
"Hawkmon! You're back!" said Yolei.
"I found your Digiegg, Keika!" he said.
"Where is it?" she asked.
"Lead him away to the North. You'll find it soon enough!" he answered.
"Hawkmon, let's do this!" said Yolei.
"Hawkmon Digivolve tooo...Aquilamon!"
"Don't attack! Just draw him to the Digiegg!" said Tai. They started running for what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes. The egg was purple, with white wings wrapped around it. It had a sky blue base like Shurimon's egg, but with spikes sticking out of all 5 points. It had a curved spike coming out of the top, and was emblazoned with what looked like a radiant goldfish!
"What crest is that? I've never seen that one before!" said Davis.
I can do this! God, please give me the strength to do this! thought Keika.
"It's the crest of Faith! It's gotta be!" said Jubimon.
"You can run! But you can't hide forever!" said MegaGuardromon.
"We can make it! I can do this!" said Keika.
"Try and lift the egg!" said Mimi.
"Come on, get your head on straight! You can do this. God help me!" said Keika, feeling overwhelmed.
"Keika, to open it, you have to have faith! Use your faith, not your strength to lift the Digiegg! I believe in you!" said Davis. With Davis' word of encouragement, Keika didn't even have to lift the egg. It came floating towards her, out of a nest of vulture eggs! "Take it!" said Jubimon "It's you Digiegg of Faith, Keika!"
"Let's whoop some Guardro-butt!" said Keika, grinning.
"Digi-armor ENERGIZE!"
"Jubimon Armor-Digivolve to.....Arterumon, Leap of Faith!" "I am Arterumon! Using the Digiegg of Faith, I Digivolve from Jubimon. Watch out for my Silent Thunder attack! You'll never even hear me coming!"
She looked a lot like Raidramon. She was obviously related to Garurumon, being wolf-like in shape. Her coloring was the same as Jubimon's and DemiJubimon's, only her armor was white, with sky blue outlining. On her side was the crest of Faith, and she had ixthus fish facing turned facing inside, carved in purple. On the thighs were all type of curly and swirly designs. Her eyes were the same sky blue, only fierce now! Her wings were white, but sort of glistened in the light with almost an iridescence.
"Silent THUNDER!" shouted Arterumon, and a large ball of purplish-white electricity that was also faintly pink began to accumulate at the end of her curved horn. It sped forward without making a noise and hit the MegaGuardromon in the stomach. He doubled over in pain.
"Alright! Way to go, Keika!" said Tai.
"Arterumon! Fly this way!" said Keika. "Let's finish him together!"
"Right!" said Arterumon's sweet but defiant voice.
Keika hopped on her and they flew off towards MegaGuardromon.
"Everyone, fall in behind me! Attack with all your power on three, okay? One.two..two and three quarters..three!" said Keika, and everyone let MegaGuardromon have it!
"Vee LASER!"
"Flower CANNON!"
"Meteor WING!"
"Giga BLASTER!"
"Horn BUSTER!"
"SILENT THUNDER!!" At those words, all of Arterumon's body went atingle with purple lightning. It slowly moved up her body and towards the curvy horn on her head where it accumulated into one huge ball, not quite Terra Force size, but about halfway there. It spun very fast on her horn and slowly made its way toward MegaGaurdromon. He began to flee, but the ball picked up the pace and hit him square in the chest. All this happened without anyone making a sound.
"Uuuuuuugh! You..Haven.t.seen.the.last.of.meeeeeeeeeeeeee!" screamed MegaGuardromon as he fell over and vaporized.
"Woohoo!" said Keika.
"We did it!" said Davis.
"Alright!" said Mimi.
"Right on!" said Tai.
"Oh, yeah!" said Yolei.
"Hey, Keika," said Sora.
"What?" asked Keika.
"I've got your back!" she said, grinning. Keika smiled back, glad to have that tension out of the way.
"Let's head back to the others! We got the Digiegg, and that's what we came here to do!" said Tai.
"Mhmmm!" said Agumon.
*****LATER, WHEN THE OTHERS GET BACK*****
"Well, one down, and.several more to go!" said Izzy.
"I thought it was only, like, 5 more!" said Kari.
"I found out more! Those are only his most powerful allies! More include Meramon and he can even recreate a SkullGreymon!" said Izzy.
"SKULLgreymon?" asked Tai.
"SkullGreymon." said Izzy.
"But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!" said Keika.
"Right!" said DemiJubimon.
"Let's go back to the real world. I'm hungry!" said Yolei.
"Digi-port OPEN!" said TK.
And everyone fell back through the screen at school.
"Goodnight, Keika!" said Davis.
"'Night, Davis!" said Keika, blowing a kiss his way.
"Don't tease me like that!" he said, and he ran up to her and kissed her forcefully on the lips. They got finished, I guess you'd say, and she said
"Have.a nice day!" said Keika.
"Have a nice day?" said Davis.
"Yeah. Have a nice day." She said.
"Have a nice day?" asked TK.
"Yeah," she said. "I panicked!"
